Ch. 1741..1745: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1741-1745
Chapter 1741
He had asked someone else to do the deed.
How did Anna find out that it was tempered with? But Anna wore a look of certainty.
"Whether it's you or not, we'll talk about it when you arrive at the station.
Your partner has already admitted to his crime, by the way! Causing deliberate harm, even if unsuccessful, is against the law! Security, take him out!" "Yes, ma'am!" The security staff waiting by the side immediately rushed forward to apprehend the manager.
The manager was scared out of his wits! This means a guilty verdict is already certain! I won't see the light of day again!' "No! No! Help me, Chloe! You've got to help me!" Chloe saw his hand outstretched to grab onto her and dodged to the side in disgust.
"Get lost, you!" Such a minor character was nothing to her! It would be better if he was just taken away and did not drag her down with him! However, she did not expect her simple act of disdain to stun the manager.
"How can you do this to me? You're the one who instigated it and got me to look for someone to work on the car! How can you just abandon me like that?!" Chloe was taken aback.
She had already given the manager a huge sum of money and they had agreed that he would take care of everything alone.
Unexpectedly, when push came to shove, he actually dragged her into the quagmire as well! Gnashing her teeth, she hissed.
''What nonsense are you spouting? What does that have to do with me? I have no idea what you've done at all!" At this moment, Lloyd and Anna could not help but look at each other.
Both of them recognized that the manager bore no grudge against Nicole, so why would he strike against Nicole just like that? When Chloe noticed Anna's gaze, she immediately said, "I did not! Really! I've used so much effort to get the director to retain me in staff.
Why would I do something like this? All these managers and agents are just trying to get mea chance at fame.
I really don't know anything...
Ms. Holder, you can't believe them!" Chloe sobbed as she spoke, bawling her eyes out.
Even Nicole almost believed her act.
But she knew very well that aside from Chloe, no one in the production crew would target her like this.
It was just that she did not expect her cousin to be so vicious.
Chloe actually tampered with her car and if it were not for her quick reaction, she would have been either dead or at the very least, crippled.
Thinking of this, Nicole stood up.
"Stop crying, Chloe.
Seeing you cry like this hurts a lot." Chloe had originally thought that her bawling would get Nachelle to take pity on her, but who knew that the first to speak was Nicole instead? Chloe's lips froze for a moment, but she could only continue the act.
"Nicole, I really didn't do this...
Please believe me.
We're family after all.
Even if we have our conflicts, I still wouldn't want you dead." Yet, deep inside, Chloe wished that she could directly kill Nicole in that crash! It was just that the prop car was not fast enough, and she originally thought that Nicole would need to relinquish the rule due to injury.
Yet, for all she knew, Nicole was so resilient that she escaped unscathed.
And that made her blood boil! Seeing Chloe's hypocritical nature on full display, Nicole got fired up.
"Yeah, I don't think you're that vicious of a person.
The manager's a villain and not only did he unnecessarily scheme for you and screw himself over, but he also even tried to drag you down with him.
So how would any other production team dare get into the team?" Nicole smiled coyly as she said something that sent a chill down Chloe's spine.
"It took you so much effort to rebuild after being chased out of the country by Grandpa.
Getting this opportunity isn't easy, right? But with your manager being in jail, your reputation will suffer as well...
And our production team will also be dragged down by your reputation." Chloe was stunned when Nicole said that.
She was still wondering why Nicole would be so kind as to speak up for her.
It turned out that she was simply taking silent stabs at her! "T won't! I'll cancel my contract with him right away! His matters are his own, and mine are mine! I won't affect the filming of this show!"
Chapter 1742
Chloe looked at Lloyd with an assured look on her face.
"I've already shot a few scenes...
If we change the cast now, all of the previous shots will be for nothing...
Please give me another chance.
"W But Lloyd only gave her a glance before looking at Nicole, as if waiting for Nicole to decide.
He was not stupid, and he could feel that Nicole probably knew the truth! As for him, he wanted to fire Chloe just now! But since Nicole stood up, perhaps she might have other plans.
Sure enough, Nicole suddenly smiled menacingly at Chloe's side.
" You want to stay in the production team at all costs?" Chloe was taken aback and felt that Nicole's words were slightly odd, but she still nodded.
"Yes!" "I will not give up this role!’ "I have to drive Nicole away and make a comeback again!’ Yet, Nicole simply smiled.
"Fine then.
You can stay in the crew, but keep an eye out for your own safety from now on...
Don't almost get accidentally hurt like me, as you're not as physically capable like me." As she said that, Nicole patted Chloe on the shoulder, with a look of 'you should know what's good for you'.
Those words instantly sent chills down Chloe's spine.
‘What's this? Nicole's threatening me now? And if I stay, something similar will happen to me?' Chloe turned around and looked at Nicole.
"I won't leave, no matter what!" ‘If a bitch like Nicole can stay here, why should I leave?!' Nicole then gave Chloe a sideway glance.
"Sure.
This is your choice.
You can stay then." The final few words were meant for Lloyd.
Although Lloyd was curious why Nicole wanted to retain Chloe, since he was a long-time partner of Nicole, he would unconditionally obey her decisions.
After that, he told Anna, "Send this manager to the police for investigation.
As for Chloe, let her stay for now." “Got it!" Anna nodded as she cast a glance at the security staff, motioning them to drag the manager out.
The manager's face was ashen pale as he continued to scream.
" She was the one who ordered me! You have to believe me!" But Lloyd had already left with Nicole.
Chloe stood there and heaved a secret sigh of relief before going to have a cup of water to calm herself down.
Lloyd had managed to catch up to Nicole and could not help but ask, "The manager's probably telling the truth.
Why do you still want to keep Chloe around?" Nicole glanced at him.
"You guys didn't actually find any evidence in the car, and you were just bluffing right?" When Lloyd heard that, he suddenly fell silent.
After some thought, he said, "We've asked the crew on the ground and although we don't have many clues to start with, Gwendolyn did say that only Chloe had conflict with you in the past.
So, I started to suspect her and bluffed that we've caught the culprit.
But it's true that Chloe ordered her manager to do that." Nicole knew that Lloyd would do that only after he was certain, but she still shook her head.
"Even if the manager gets thrown into lockup, we won't be able to provide any evidence at all.
Also, since he surrendered himself, and the attempt was unsuccessful, the punishment would be very light." Lloyd immediately understood what she meant.
"You mean to say, even if he implicates Chloe, it's only a failed attempt at causing deliberate harm.” “Yeah, the most you can do is to get her to leave the production team, but that...
isn't nearly enough." Nicole's eyes were dark.
Chloe's return this time was clearly aimed at her, and she even tried to kill her.
That was something she could not tolerate! “Do you have any plans, Nicole?" Nicole grinned slightly, her expression impassive.
"If you go on the offensive, then you need to give them no chance to fight back." Lloyd immediately understood Nicole's intentions as he said with determination, ''No matter what you do, I'll support you." Nicole raised her eyebrow.
"You don't have to do anything.
She'll expose herself soon enough."
Chapter 1743
But Nicole pondered for a bit before adding, 'I remember the latter part of the next scene.
We have a scene of the heroine being pushed off the building by the third female lead?" Lloyd was taken aback but after some recalling, he said, "Yeah." "To avoid any losses to you, let's film that today...'' Once Chloe was taken care of, all of the previous scenes with her in it would have been for nothing.
Nicole did not want Lloyd to lose out too much.
Lloyd smiled.
"No matter.
It's just a matter of a few days of filming.
The Holder Group doesn't really mind it, and at most, we just need to look for a new third female lead." This show was originally meant for him to get close to Nicole, and as long as she was happy, he would do anything for her.
Seeing that Lloyd looked like he was troubled, Nicole smiled at him.
"How about I help you look for the third female lead?" “You have a suitable person in mind?" Lloyd raised his eyebrow.
"I dare not say whether she's suitable or not.
But you can have a look." "Alright." Lloyd nodded with a smile.
After the two were done talking, Nicole returned to her place to read the script.
Lloyd, on the other hand, told Nachelle that the wire scene would be moved to today.
Although Nachelle was taken aback, when she heard that Chloe's manager was arrested, she immediately understood why...
The filming of Nicole's scene in the morning went very smoothly.
Chloe, on the other hand, was out of sorts, and made all kinds of mistakes during her turn.
It was only because her mind was focused on the props at the film set...
Nicole's threat in the morning had made her almost neurotic, fearing that the props would have been tampered with...
During the afternoon break, Chloe was suddenly notified that there was a wire scene being brought forward.
She saw the crew was preparing the wire suits and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.
She had seen Nicole at work before, and the girl was a woman of her words! Moreover, her manager had already been brought to the police station, and if the police were to summon her, she would be kicked off the crew by Nachelle at any given time! Thinking of this, her eyes turned gloomy.
‘Rather than sitting still here, I might as well strike first!’ ‘Otherwise, I'll be under the shadow of Nicole's threats this entire day.’ However, she had no helpers right now! But at this moment, there were only a few people on set and only two crew members were working on the wire suits.
Chloe pondered a little before walking forward and pretending to ask, "Are these wire suits safe?" The two crew members looked at each other.
"Of course, it's safe.
You're the third female protagonist, right?” Seeing that the crew recognized her, Chloe immediately latched on.
"Yeah, the next scene is with me and the female lead.
We have a scene where we chase each other from the top of the building.
I was wondering if the wires are sturdy or not." “Don't worry! You can have a look yourself if you don't believe me.
Here, this is yours.
This is the heroine's one." The crew member took no precautions and just gave her the two wire suits.
Chloe totally did not think this opportunity would come so easily! “Sure, I'll give them a thorough inspection then!" As she said that, she checked her own wire suit.
The wire was marked with yellow while the other was marked with red.
After checking her own wire, she looked at the red-marked wire suit.
"I'll check for my colleague as well." As she said that, she deliberately touched it.
The two crew members looked at each other but then looked away from Chloe.
Seeing that no one was looking at her, Chloe took the opportunity to use a knife and made a deep cut on the wire suit's waist belt!
Chapter 1744
Chloe quickly turned around and said, "That's fine.
They look pretty safe.
Thanks." As she said that, Chloe left gleefully.
If the waist strap broke in the afternoon scene, Nicole would definitely be in trouble! At that time, the entire film would be done for, and Lloyd will cover for her! If worse came to worst, even if the manager were to divulge everything to the cops and Chloe could not be a part of this show anymore, Nicole was still done for! When that happened, Chloe could consider herself avenged! Chloe was already so full of herself that when she left, she did not notice the minute actions the two crew members took...
Soon, lunch break was over.
All of the staff and filming crew returned to the set and prepared to shoot.
All of the green screens had also been set up.
In the next scene, the third female lead would push the heroine off the building, but the heroine would pull her along and fall into the pool.
But this was just a scene on the first floor and the bottom was a foam mattress as safety, while the pool would be added in post-production.
Nicole and Chloe quickly arrived at the rooftop.
Although this was a special effects scene, the building was still four to five stories high as they needed to take close-up and slow- motion shots.
Both Chloe and Nicole wore their wire suits and when Chloe saw Nicole wearing the red suit, she felt extremely triumphant as she looked icily at Nicole.
"This is your first time using a wire suit, right? Be careful." Nicole only gave her a faint glance and said, "You better save the concern for yourself.
You've done so many bad things after all.
Beware of divine retribution..." Chloe suddenly panicked when Nicole said that, but she was sure that Nicole was wearing the one marked red! She had already checked hers and it was impossible for someone else to have tampered with it! Thinking of this, Chloe smiled.
"When will you change your habit of intimidating others, Nicole? I'm not one to cower from mere threats." Nicole glanced at her.
“You'll soon find out if I'm just intimidating you or not." Chloe's heart thumped hard when she heard that.
‘Could it be that Nicole noticed something?" She then tried to comfort herself.
'No, that's impossible.
How could she know?’ As she pondered that, Nachelle suddenly called out from below.
" Alright, perk up everyone.
Prepare to shoot!" The two at once got into form and when Nachelle shouted "Action! " Nicole immediately got into her role with an innocent expression on her face.
Chloe, on the other hand, enjoyed this scene very much! After shouting at Nicole, she followed the script and lunged at Nicole with force! "AHHH!" As Nicole screamed, she fell from the side of the
balcony! Being pulled on by Nicole, Chloe fell as well! She suddenly heard the sound of the waist strap being ripped and Chloe let out a gleeful smile.
Die, Nicole!" At such a height, even with a sponge mat at the bottom, Nicole would still be seriously injured! Thinking of Nicole's end, Chloe felt triumphant! The next second, Nicole's wire suit stopped all of a sudden! Chloe's own wire suit too stopped abruptly.
She was taken aback as Nicole had stopped normally.
'That shouldn't be, the waist strap should've been ripped apart the moment she stopped! Yet, at this moment, she clearly heard the sound of a strap ripping, but it was from her own suit! Chloe was stunned! "NO!!!" She screamed as she reflexively tried to grab onto Nicole.
Latching on to nothing, she further lost her balance! RIP! The waist strap instantly tore apart! The two straps that were meant to support her legs clearly could not bear her bodyweight and she fell straight down! CRASH! A loud crash rang across the entire film set! In unison, everyone immediately looked toward the direction! “Oh crap! An accident!"
Chapter 1745
"It's Chloe!" "Something went wrong with her wire suit!" "Call the ambulance, now!" Everyone quickly rushed over! Chloe was already lying unmoving on the ground, a mouthful of blood gushed out from the sides of her mouth...
She finally understood everything at this moment...
‘Nicole was not just intimidating me, she has indeed done something against me...' ‘But when did she swap the two wire suits around?! Nicole looked at Chloe from above her, her eyes a surge of darkness.
Chloe was such a fool.
Nicole only needed to toy with her a little and the latter immediately got fooled.
'I've really overestimated her.' Soon, the ambulance came, and Nicole walked down from upstairs.
As she watched Chloe being carried up the stretcher, she let out an evil grin.
"Chloe, it seems like you'll be dying before me." This was her response to the curse Chloe shouted before she fell.
Chloe could no longer feel her lower body at this moment, and only felt extreme pain.
But the hatred in her heart caused her to swallow the blood in her mouth as she accused Nicole...
"You...
you set me up..." Her eyes were filled with anguished hatred, but her voice was extremely weak.
Nicole gave her a mocking glance.
"I've already told you before.
You reap what evil deeds you've sown." After she said that, Nicole no longer paid any mind to Chloe as she turned around and went back to the lounge.
Chloe glared at Nicole but no longer had the strength to speak.
She could only allow herself to be carried into the ambulance by the EMT...
One would think that such an incident would affect the filming schedule, but the director did not seem to be affected at all.
As if she was prepared for this, she went straight ahead to film the other scenes.
Nicole's filming went extremely smoothly, and when Lloyd saw that Nicole was in such a good mood, he felt that everything was worth it.
When the filming finally ended, Lloyd came forward.
"It looks like you're in the zone this afternoon." "Yeah, with the troublemaker aside, it's easier to get into the role.
Lloyd smiled.
"As long as you like it." Nicole did not forget to remind him, "Did you save the footage? Reveal it when the time is right to avoid the production team needing to battle gossip and compensation claims." Whatever she did, she would never cause too much trouble for Lloyd.
"Don't worry.
Her leaving the cast only means a few wasted footage.
The production team won't give her a single cent in compensation." Chloe had done so many disgusting things in the team, and she still wanted compensation? Dream on.
Nicole nodded.
"That's good then.
I won't feel like I owe you for something like this." Lloyd smiled deeply.
"You're still afraid of owing someone a favor like before." Nicole curled her lips and did not say anything else.
She instead looked at the time and thought it was about time to leave.
However, Lloyd quickly said, "The production team has plans to have supper together.
Are you going?" Nicole originally wanted to decline, but Lloyd added, "Many of the crew still don't know you yet.
Let's go together to say hi." Nicole immediately understood that this was part of her job.
"Alright." Nicole immediately agreed.
Since it was just a brief thing, it could be settled within half an hour.
Lloyd was extremely happy when she agreed.
"Then let's take my car.
We'll head over first." Nicole hesitated a little.
"It won't be good if we're photographed together." However, Lloyd said, "My mother will be joining us as well."
